I remember Pele. I enjoyed watching him play soccer. He still looks handsome and youthful.

R U serious? Never compare beckham to Pele ever again. They're nothing alike. Not even close. How do you compare the greatest ever to somebody who got his fame for his looks. beckham sucks. Go compare him to the Ronaldos or something. Getouttahea with that beckham Pele comparison. that's way off.

Pele is a legend, but Maradona is the greatest. Pele played in a time when people couldn't really play. Maradona was a one man team by himself. and if he played today he'd still be one of the greats, whereas Pele would be just a really good player.

"17."
Why is mentioning his son's drug arrest racist? If you're implying that they wouldn't have said anything about it if he was white, I doubt that.

Damn right I 'memba him. He's a soccer god, number one, primo, primeiro.
Diego Maradona is an honorable second. "La mano de dios," notwithstanding. Ole, ole, ole, ole...
Beckham is rewarded for speaking English and being good looking, but Pavel Nedved, the Czech, is wa-ay hotter.
